    I’ve encountered both. The two I mentioned got the point across.

      We say spuhghetti around these parts.

      I feel like I’m misunderstanding the joke though.

      The pronunciations you have in your head are mispronunciations that some children & uneducated people use.

        Yes, that’s why OP is asking if Italian children make similar mispronunciations. Like is it an artifact of learning a word that sounds like that in general or of learning it in the context of English specifically?
